Can Charging Station Be Run From Same 12V Power as RV Television Circuit?

Question:

I have a 12 volt plug in the Lance 1985 that runs the television while boondocking. Can I just run the wires from that one down to this one or is it much more complicated? Im not a geek or electrician at all and would have my mobile RV guy come out to wire it if its more complicated.

The Charging Station for RVs - 2 USB Ports - 12V Socket - Black # DG61023VP could possibly tap into the same wire as the television, but there is more information needed. You will need to determine what fuse or circuit breaker is used for that television wiring to determine if that is wise. If you are unsure it is definitely better to just run a separate power wire for the charging station so you don't cause any damage from overloading that circuit.
